Modern Art Orchestra's repertoire contains more than 15 hours of music uniquely composed for, dedicated to and premiered by the band. During its American tour, Modern Art Orchestra will be playing a selection of compositions which reflect their musical origin of contemporary improvised music in Europe: big band orchestrations of music by George Frideric Händel, Béla Bartók, Gioacchino Rossini and Franz Schubert will be performed, as well as the best of the European jazz repertoire, including some of the band members' own crispy, drifting and captivating compositions.
